The Redhead Society tells the story of a red-haired man named Jabez Wilson who was unexpectedly given a surprisingly easy and well-paid job by the Redhead Society, which he was told was due to the unique shade of his hair. For several weeks, Jabez Wilson came to work in a small, isolated office and spent several hours a day rewriting the Encyclopaedia Britannica. But one day, he saw an announcement that the Redheads' Union had disbanded and there was no more sinecure. Wilson asks Holmes to help him understand this strange story and find out what happened.

In The Motley Fringe, Ellen Stoner turns to Sherlock Holmes for help. She said that a few years ago, just two weeks before her wedding, her sister Julia died under mysterious circumstances. Before she died, Julia only managed to whisper: «A colourful ribbon». And now Ellen is about to get married, and at night she also hears (like her late sister) a soft whistle. Stoner feels that something strange and terrible is happening, so he asks Holmes for help.
